what is the best way to get these bloody things out? im at my wits end with it!
they dont have the big hex doovers on em like the sunny struts!
they just wont budge

ive tried a whoppin big pair of multigrips, but i still cant budge the mongrels.
its not a left hand thread(200b strut) or something stupid is it and ive been tightening all the time??

Hi Pepper,

I had a go at this recently on the sunny, took a while but I ended up securing the strut (bolting it to the wheel and getting someone to stand on it), got a massive pair of those multi grip style things (that lock to size, think plumbers use them) and belting it with a large hammer.

Rooted the nuts but had gas shocks to go in anyway and they needed new ones. Oh and they go the normal way.

Cheers

cut it off.... oh that's right it's not a bush basher sorry can't help

get a big pair of ridgeid pipetongs, with a peice of pipe on the end.

i did have some success, with a 400mm pair of supercheap multigrips. i got one, but the other is still being stubborn. so i brought home a 500mm pair of snap on multigrips today which hopefully will do the trickeroony.
i need bigger guns i think. might be time for a workout.
ill let youse know in 10 mins or so if i can defeat this bastardo thing.
thanks for help lads

Put the nut in a vice then turn the strut, or stilsons.

argh!!! i can hang off it but i just cant budge it.
might be a job for Goliath( the big dude at work)tomorrow!!!

Normally theres so much oil leaking out the old strut the nuts loose anyway, I feel your pain!

use a gland nut socket.
